Heres a full length shot of a completed leg sleeve consisting of a Dragon and Hannya, created with a minimal colour palette, relying heavily on the contrast between the black and grey tones and the warm rich reds and yellows for the colour highlighting.
A leg sleeve can be one of the most difficult tattoos to create because of the variety of skin types on the leg, and the structural aspects of the 3d surface including the knee and knee ditch.
I am very pleased with this result, which was made much easier by the trust shown by my client, and his ability to endure the sessions without complaint. I believe this was wrapped up in 7 sessions. Thank you.
